#NavigateTheOTCJanuary EPILOGUE (Use the hashtag to access the archives) - A CRAZY WEEK OF TRADING

Yes, I know it's mid-February, but this past week has shown why the principles of Navigate the OTC January are useful. #Stocks were crazy, and many sadly traded on emotion. Oops.

The week started with green all over, and there was thought that no more stocks would trade in the trip 0s. People were rushing to buy everything, thinking stocks would never come back down (or at least make a healthy retrace). Thoughts of getting rich quickly permeated traders'

minds, even if they were buying a stock up hundreds of percent. Greed took over, and people didn't let trades come to them. In the meantime, smart traders were at worst holding. They were taking small bits off the table throughout the day as the stocks were running. I did that.

In fact, I took about $70-80k worth of various stocks off the table into STRENGTH. I held some, especially event-based runs like $TGRR, but my finger stayed away from the BUY button Monday and Tuesday. I thought a pullback was likely, but I also feared that my friends who are

about to start their OTC journeys would be out of buying opportunities. Wednesday came, which was a red day for many. That day taught me that plays with CATALYSTS work the best. Stocks that ran for no reason came back down to Earth, giving many a red day. Because of my research

techniques, Wednesday was my second greenest day EVER. Then another lesson was learned by many on Thursday. I do not trade delinquent stocks (you will see "Delinquent SEC Reporting" on OTCMarkets) because they are at risk for an SEC suspension. Sure enough, $SCIE met that fate,

causing many to have dashed hopes. Additionally, most stocks finished the day in the red. I had somewhat of a red day but still far ahead from where I was on the weekend. Thursday taught me to embrace the red, buy a few dips, and have a nice hunk of powder available for trading

or withdrawal. It also taught me not to panic sell. Today, the red increased more across the OTC. I had a very slightly red day, but due to having plays with catalysts, I had a fair amount of green plays, and my red plays finished the day strong, likely paving the way for a green

4-day week next week. Sadly, many people, likely the same ones who were chasing stocks to buy at high prices, panic sold. This is emotional trading and will take your account to zero. Instead of chasing a stock, let the stock come to you. If it runs without you, it wasn't meant

to be. Likewise, if you know why you own the stock and there's selling on low volume, hold tight or even add. I averaged down on a position or two today but didn't go wild so that I have a nice heap of cash available. What did you learn from this week? Enjoy the weekend!
